Franciscan Trio MCM Sugar & Creamer Vintage Esta James Mid-Century Modern Beautiful dishes from the 1950s vintage Color-Seal Franciscan "Trio" Metropolitan dinnerware line by Gladding McBean & Co., in very good pre-loved condition. LOVE the atomic abstract flower designed by Esta James with such a flowing and layered look to them, so very typical of the 1950s! These high quality mid century modern dishes were made in the U.S.A. by California-based Franciscan china company from 1954 to 1958. These gems can be tough to find, especially where they're still super glossy like these are!
